Safety rating: what's yours?
 

Hey ya'll,

I got a DOT inspection today on my truck. I was informed my safety rating is a 10 out of 100. Zero being the best, 100 the worst.

I was told that it showed up on his computer that I was 100% in compliance with CSA 2010. That's good news.

Does anyone else know what their score is? 10 sounds good, just want to make sure.

Thanks!!

I am also confused
 

Scott, I have never really understood the scoring, and when FMCSA2010 rolls out, hopefully I can understand the rating.My score at the moment on the FMCSA website is 94%.They have also recommended that when I drive by the "hencoop", an inspection on me is recommended.From what I learned, someone with 54% is satisfactory and my scroing of 94% is normal for a "new entrant.Quite confusing!
I was stopped in Tuscola, TX two weeks ago by a DOT.He checked every paper work you could imagine and also my logs.He even checked me out on his laptop.When everything came back clean, he walked around the truck and trailer and did a visual inspoection.He said he stopped me for not having a reflective tape on the back of the trailer.He gave me a warning and let me go.
I checked my score on the site this week and it was still 94%.I will have to have my local PSC do an inspection on me to to bring that rating to around 50%.This will put an "optional" inspection recommendation on my stats.
GMAN, shed some light!

Insuf. Data

insuff. for now.
 

"insuificient data" at the moment with an "inspection" recommended.When Jan. rolls around it wouldn't read insufficient, not when they incorporate my MVR, the heavy weight tickets and 2 out of service violations I recieved while hauling containers.

any rating higher than a 75 is considered unacceptable and you will be recommended for inspection everytime
it's not fair they way they do it, if a company has 10,000 trucks and 5000 of them fail, they have a 50 percent failure rate, but if you have 1 truck and it fails, you are pegged with a 100% failure rate

This 2010 system updates every month...

It could be very hard to keep this job from here on out.

One mess up and you are toast

Define "mess up".
What could happen to someone's safety rating with 1 an out of service violation?.Let's say someone with 4 trucks or just 1 truck?
I wonder if someone will really be toast with just 1 out of service violation.I also wonder what the "intervention" is all about?Kind of like Driver's ED to maintain your rating?

HOS violation is like 10 pt

etc..etc

the 2010 website has a list of infractions and the points assigned.

Just run legal and safe and everything should be ok.

the most points you can recieve from one inspection is capped at 30. not sure if this includes the 3x multiplier or not.

Mine was a 76, somehow an accident, from another company, with a driver with my name, wound up on my SAFER report. I was able, after many many months to get the accident off of my report, but the points stayed. That is why I fear this CSA2010 for you guys. Myself, I hung up my spurs.
